carriage-is released and are threade with a tabiilator stop 51 whichconsists of column stop or stops49. In the resent ,inf

stance I have shown said tabulator stop -51 as normally standing belowthe level of the In order that.` said tabulator stop may at any time beraised to position to engage one of the column stops, said tabulatorstop is pivoted on a pivot rod 52 mounted in a bracket 53 which issecured to the back bar 9 of the carriage by headed screws 53L that passthrough said bracket into said back bar. The bracket 53 is formed at itsupper end with two ears 54 spaced apartand the arm 51 is forked at'itsforward end s'o as to give a wide and firm bearing` for said arm and toprevent displacement or injury when the stops 5.1 and 49 come forciblyinto engage-V ment. A returning spring 55 is coiled about thepivot rod`52 between the forks of the stop arm 51 and one end of saidspringengages the bracket 53 andthe other Yend presses the arm 51 downwardinto its nor-4 mal position.

ward from the pivot rod 52 and is adapted to engage the bracket 53 whenthe armr 51 is in normal position.

InY order to raise the tabulator stop 51 into'position to engage one ofthe columnv An anti-friction roller 59 is `journaled in ears dependingfrom the arm 51 and is adapted to roll alon the Wing 581When` the for itabulating urposes. The rock shaft 57 has projecting t erefrom towardthe rear of the machine an -arm 60, to the free end of which is pivotedat 61 the upper end of a link 62 which extends downward through thetop-plate 5 and shelf 3 and at its lower end is pivoted oii a shoulderedvand headed screw 63 threaded into the rear end of a lever 64 which atits forward end is pivotedon a shouldered and headed screw 65 threadedfinto one of the side plates 1.v The lever 64 is formed with a slot 66into which a pin 67 projects from one side of a tabulator key lever 68,`which at its forward lend carries the tabulatoi; key

69. The key lever 68 is ivoted at its rear end \on a shouldered anheaded screw 70 In 'order to limit the downi ward motion of the arm 51,said 'arm vis formed with a heel 56 that-extends' downwhichA is threadedinto a bracket 71, depending from the shelf 3. Said key lever extendsback'of its pivot 70 and this rearward extension of said lever isengaged by a 'ie turning spring 79., compressed between said lever landthe shelf 3. The link 62 is provided with a returning spring 7.3 vthatis coiled about saidlink and compressed between the back shelf .3 and aliub or collar 74 that surrounds said link and is secured in positionthereon in any suitable manner. The construction is such that if thetablilator key,69 be depressed 'the pin 67 thereim link'62 and arm 60,will rock the shaf,t57

58 on said shaft engaging the roller r59 will i'alse the arm 51 intoposition to` engage one of the column stops 49.-'

Iii order to release thev arriage ,when the tabulator key is depressedthe hub 74 has projecting therefrom-an arm, which, when the link 62 isdrawn downward, is adapted toy engage and/depress one end of a' level'76 that `is pivoted on a shouldered and headedA screw 77 threaded intova bracket 79 dependingfromthe to plate 5. The A return inot-ioii of thelever 76 lis limited byan arm 80 of said lever engaging the top plate 5.The

end of the leverv 76 near themiddle yof the l,

machine has the stein of a iack-flifterf81 pivoted thereto on' ashouldered and headed screw 82. Said stein vof said -rack lifter extendsupward through a suitable opening in the top plate 5 and the upperendyof said rack lifter is forked to embracel the reduced forward end ofthe housing 39 in which the escapementrwheel shaft is journaled. Each vofthe forks ofthe rack .lifter 81 isfbentt- Ward `the front of themachine Vas shown in Fig. l andlies beneath the vfeed rack 4-1. Theconstruction is such* that when the link (S2 is drawn downward by thedepression of, the tabulator key C9the arm 75, en aging one end ofthe`lever 76, raises the ot er .endv ofv saidlever and with it the'racklifter 81 which raises the feed vrack 41"ont of engagement with the feedpinion 40, vthus releasing the carriage and permitting it to run freelyn nder the impulse of the spring, drinn 45.' Meanwhilethe tabulator stop51- hasibeen raised into positionl to engage one ofthe columnl stops 49.There isr some lost -mot-ion between the arm 75 and the lever7 6 so thatthe tabulator stop 5l will have been moved into position to engageacolumii stop before the carri age is released. A When thetabulator key69 is released the feed'ra'ck 4:1 returns into i engagement with-thefeed pinion 4() and the tabulator stop 51 is moved by its spring 55 toinoperative position. l

It will be obSerNed one or more column stopsy mounted on-the fixedframework ofthe machine and .a tabiilator stop that is' pivotallymounted on the that liaveprovided' 4- yand down, that said movable stopis actuated by a rocking inemberliaving an eccentric part that directlyengages said movable stop between the ends or the latter and that theaxis of motion ot' said rocking member is parallel with the direction oftravel of the carriage. l

varlonechanges in the deteilsof construction and arrangement may be madewithout departing from my invention.

What .i claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, iszii.' lna typewriting machine, the combination of a carriage, a column stop barmounted .back of the carriage, one or more column stops mounted on Saidstep bar and each having a stop lug,r 49 projecting,T therefrom towardthe front of the machine, a strip pivoied on the carriage with freedomto move up and down and havingits rear end normally in front of saidstop bar and beneath said stop lug, a rock shaft mounted below 'Said pivoted stop and having an eccentric part adaptedwhen the Shaft is rockedto raise said pivoted Stop into the path of Said stop lug or lugs, atabnlator key, and connections for rocking said shaft, a lever 76 of thefirst order operated, by said key, and a carriage release deviceoperated by said lever.

f2; ln a typewriting machine. the combination ot' a carriage, upper andlower stationry rails for said carriage, standarde for supporting saidrails, a column stop bar mounted in brackets projecting from said:standards and having column Stops mounted thereon, a single stoppivoted to the carriage' and projecting therefrom toward the rear of themachine and having its rear end normally below the stop portions of saidrolnrnn stops, a rock shaft pivote-l in Said lQtandards and lyingbeneathsaid pivoted stop, a tabulator key lever, a link ($2 connecting said keylever with said rock Shaft, a lever 7G operated by Said link 62, and acarriage release device operated by said lever. l

3. In a typewritinginachine, the combina tion of a carriage, a pivotedstop projecting yhoaontally from said ari-lage and havin" ananti-friction roller 58 thereon, a roer shaft on which said rollernormally'. rolls, a, feather in Said rock shaft adapted when the' shaftis rocked to move up under the roller .78 and raise said roller and thepivoted stop, and column stops in position to be engaged by Said pivotedstop when it is so raised.

l. In a typewriting machine, thecombination of a carriage, upper andlower stationary rails or'tracks for said carriage, a tabulator stop'pivoted to said carriage between said stationary rails or tracks, acolumn stop bar mounted on the stationary framework, one or more columnstops adjustably mounted on said stop bar, a device lying between thecarriage and the column stop barand parallel with the direction oftravel of the carriagey and under said tabulator stop and movable tolift said tabulator stop into line with said column stop or stops, atabulator key mounted in the fixed framework of the machine, connectionsbetween said key and Said movable member for operating' the latter andthe tabulator stop, and a carriage release device operated by said key.
